Joe and list,

I just finished painting my 6 calipers with the kit from Eastwood.
http://www.eastwoodco.com/jump.jsp?itemID=558&itemType=PRODUCT

The kit has a small can of paint, hardener, brush and a can of spray cleaner.

I also bead blasted the calipers, sprayed the cleaner, let dry and applied the 
paint with the supplied brush.

Let dry about 2 hours and re-applied another coat.

Had some paint left over so I did the rear shocks.

I used silver and they came out real nice.

The next morning they were dry and the paint seemed quite hard.

It will be quite some time before I drive the car but they do look nice.

I plan on using dot 5 fluid.

Bob
